[QUOTE="rammac, post: 2408629, member: 27761"] Personally I've never had a problem with seeing the crosshairs on my FFP scopes. Yes, if you have a dark background, on low power, and you use a less expensive FFP optic, then I would expect that it's not a easy to see the crosshairs as the thicker crosshairs that you normally find on a SFP scope. But if you take time to select a good reticle and if you choose one that has the capability of being lit, I doubt that you'd have any problems using the FFP reticle. The bottom line; [TABLE] [TR] [TD]FFP [LIST] [*]Designed to make seeing the reticle better at longer ranges [*]Reticle sub-tensions stay the same regardless of magnification [*]Professionally trained shooter uses the size of the reticle features to help aim at different ranges, typically over 300 yards [*]Preferred by the military because it helps to make fast shots in life threatening situations [/LIST][/TD] [TD]SFP [LIST] [*]Designed to make seeing the target better under any condition [*]Reticle sub-tensions change with magnification and can only be used for ranging at one magnification [*]Typical shooter just aims and shoots, uses Kentucky windage as necessary, most often used at ranges of 300 yards or less [*]Most often used by untrained, casual, shooters [/LIST][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
